The Evolution of Chris Jericho

In all honesty though if Ralphus ever decided to write a book about his very brief stint as a security/bodyguard to Chris Jericho and I get a chance to meet him, I will surely ask "So, do you still talk to Chris Jericho?" "What do you mean you haven’t talked to him in 10 years?" "You know he doesn't even know if you're dead or alive?" "You really should just call him and let him know your ok."
Then I will start a site called Wrestler/FormerSecurityGuardMatch.com

Anyway, back to me sitting next to Jericho asking him bizarre questions.
After the Ralphus fiasco is done, and Jericho is probably weary and tired of my questions, I go for the clincher. "So Chris, I know you can’t answer any questions and I don’t want to get you in trouble, but I heard that you were going to film VH1's I love the 60's in New York tonight. I know Raw is here in Philly, will you be in New York tonight or will you be down at the Wachovia Center?” (Notice I worded it, down at the Center) I never said "Will you be returning tonight?" Jericho smoothly answers "No I'll be right here.” pointing to the table. Then adds to drive the point home" I'll be here all night signings autographs"
Yes I thought but the ad says you'll be here until 7pm. That's well enough time to get down to the Wachovia center.
When I got home, watched Raw and the show ended from the Wachovia Center the reality hit that: Chris Jericho didn’t make his triumph return. I then knew when he was pointing at the table saying "I'll be right here" it wasn’t some inside code only a Youngling...errr I mean Groundling would know. It meant he really was going to be seated at that table signing his books all night and dealing with an occasional Ralphus fan (ok I'm probably the only one left.)

It was two months worth of SAVE_US.222 appearing on WWE television until Jericho actually returned. Since it first aired the internet was  clamored with the rumors that this viral ad campaign was a promo for Chris Jericho's return, which they were right. Just off by a month. First Jericho was supposed to return at Unforgiven, then No Mercy, then Taboo Tuesday, each pay per view passed and there was still no sign of Jericho returning.

Chris Jericho returning had become a tease. Chris Jericho returning had become the high school girlfriend who promised to have sex with you for the first time, but kept saying “no, maybe soon, next week.” Chris Jericho returning became your high school girlfriend saying then the following week, "I'm just not ready to do it yet, how about we talk some more about our feelings".
Chris Jericho returning became your high school girlfriend then saying next week "we'll do it", but then next week came and she said "But I just want the moment to be perfect. Next week.
The following week…"I'm having my period" The following week... “I’m ready but I don’t want to go too fast because I really care about you”. In comparison an analogy to this in wrestling meant every pay per view and week of Raw that Jericho was supposed to return, Umaga wrestled instead
Depending on who you ask "Chris Jericho Returning = your high school girlfriend not putting out" was the fault of either Stephanie McMahon-Helmsy-Levesque or Chris Jericho himself.
